RFT: sane-backends
Hello!
Background info: http://bugs.skolelinux.no/show_bug.cgi?id=478
I have fetched new packages from Adrian Bunk's archives [1] which
fixes the security problem, but the packages need to be tested! Test
procedure:
(1. add "deb ftp://ftp.skolelinux.no/skolelinux woody-test local" to
your /etc/apt/sources.list.
(2) 'apt-get update'
(3) 'apt-get install libsane=1.0.12-4.bunk sane-utils=1.0.12-4.bunk'
(and yes, you want to downgrade these packages)
(4) remove the line added in (1)
(5) 'apt-get update'
Test if the scanners that hopefully was working still works. Please
report both failures and success to this list, me or as a comment to
bug #478.
(The reason I don't want to use the packages Petter backported, is that
hopefully Adrian's packages will be maintained by him, and not the
Debian-Edu / Skolelinux security team.)
